Chapter 182: Malaria Contagion
"Dr. Huang has a smart mind! I haven't even said anything, you can see it, and ask Dr. Huang to help save the people of this city. Governor Li was surprised that Dr. Huang had seen that the refugees had the plague in a short period of time, and he had spread the plague, and he solemnly bowed down to Huang Shisu and pleaded.
"It is our doctor's duty to treat the sick and save people, and it is naturally my duty to do so.
Don't you know what kind of plague these refugees are infected?
If that's the case! Governor Li, you separate a tent for me to study and see the infected refugees.
You carry three people to separate tents, these three infected refugees, one has just become ill, one has been sick for a long time, and one has a serious illness, I have to look at and study one or two separately, and by the way, bring the prescriptions they have drunk, I have to take a closer look, and prepare two more people to wait outside to grab medicine, run errands or something.
As for the others, until they know what the plague is and how to cure it, there is no need for everyone to stay where they are and not to wander around, lest the plague spread further. Huang Zisu's heart turned sharply, and he instructed Li Zhifudao.
She was not surprised that Governor Li came here to ask for help.
It should be that none of the refugees in this group of refugees managed by their uncle and nephew were infected with this unknown plague, which attracted the attention of Governor Li, so he asked for help.
It seems that he asked this group of refugees to drink anti-epidemic prescriptions, the food they ate was cooked with anti-epidemic prescriptions, and the daily necessities were also smoked with medicines, so that the refugees under his jurisdiction avoided this unknown plague.
Huang Shisu also had some guesses in his heart, this unknown plague should not be very powerful, otherwise, it would be impossible to prevent those ferocious and contagious plagues just by drinking epidemic prevention prescriptions.
"Okay, I'll arrange it, and Dr. Huang will come with me." Seeing that Huang Shisu did not drag his feet and helped, seeing that she had a sense of the overall situation at a young age, regardless of her own safety, she contacted and studied unknown plague patients, and he was satisfied with Huang Shisu again.
After Governor Li led Huang Shisu to the newly separated tent, he immediately instructed the soldiers to find three patients mentioned by Huang Shisu and send them into the tent to let Huang Shisu treat and study these refugees infected with the unknown plague, hoping that she could find the cause and relieve the crisis.
"Uncle, where are you uncomfortable now?" Huang Zisu saw that the person brought to him by Governor Li was an uncle in his thirties, an aunt in his thirties, and a boy in his eight or nine years old.
Among the three people, Huang Shisu saw that the uncle had a mild illness, the aunt was slightly serious, and the boy was the most serious.
"It's just the cold, the fear of the cold, but the others are not?" The uncle shuddered.
At this time, he was in no mood to care why a teenage girl had treated him.
Not just because he was not feeling well, but because more than half of the refugees in his tent had contracted the disease, and the medicine didn't work.
Although the doctor said that it was not something wrong and covered up something, he knew that it should be infected with some kind of plague.
He was so worried, he was afraid of death, where was he in the mood to care who treated him, now that there are so many people in Yunfu City who are infected with the plague, it would be good for someone to take care of himself.
After that, Huang Shisu gave the uncle a pulse sign, and looked at the uncle's tongue coating again.
Judging from the pulse and tongue coating, it is true that it is infected with wind chill.
It's just that she read the prescription prescribed by the previous doctor to this uncle, and the medicine prescribed was also to treat wind and cold, and drinking the medicine not only did not cure this wind and cold, but also continued to aggravate the condition.
This refugee is not infected with the cold, it must be some other disease.
"Uncle, what's the matter with the rash on your arms and feet? These rashes are present before or after the onset of the disease. Huang Shisu suddenly saw several red dots on the uncle's arm, these red dots grew close to the armpits, and it was dark, Huang Shisu didn't see it at once, she almost didn't notice it.
It's just that Huang Shisu stared at the red spot on the uncle's hand that seemed to be a mosquito bite, and Huang Shisu seemed to have found some clues.
"It's been there when it gets sick."
"Okay, I see." After that, Huang Shisu walked towards the aunt again, and after asking the aunt a few questions, she still found the same rash on the aunt's body as the uncle.
Moreover, the number of red rashes on this aunt's body is still more than that of the uncle.
Huang Zisu probably knew what kind of plague these refugees were infected, and she continued to walk towards the boy.
Seeing that the boy had a high fever accompanied by sweating, and that he had many more rashes on his body than the uncle and aunt, it was no wonder that he was the most sick.
Chills, fever, sweating, and red spots from mosquito bites all over the body make this group of refugees infected with malaria, or malaria.
Malaria is an insect-borne infection caused by the Plasmodium parasite through the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes or the transfusion of blood from a person with the parasite.
There are four types of Plasmodium parasites that live in humans, namely Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium falciparum, and Plasmodium ovale.
This group of refugees did not have the blood of people with malaria parasites, and the rapid onset of malaria allowed the exclusion of Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium ovale.
Three-day malaria is different from other plagues, it is highly contagious, but it is less fatal, as long as the source of infection is killed, the infected person can be cured quickly under the treatment of medicine, and the person with strong resistance.
After finding out what disease this group of refugees contracted and the source, Huang Shiso can prescribe the right medicine.
Huang Shisu quickly began to prescribe medicine.
Bupleurum (three money), skullcap (two money), Zhimu (three money), Lu ginseng (three money), turtle jia (three money, vinegar burning), Qing Banxia (two money), Changshan (half money, fried wine), grass fruit (one money), licorice (one money), wine koji (three money), ginger (three money), jujube (two, opened).
Those who have started malaria should reduce ginseng and turtle shells. If it is hot, add five or six dollars or to one or two of raw gypsum. If it is even cold, add five cents or one penny of grass fruit.
After that, Huang Shiso prescribed another prescription for medicinal smoking.
After prescribing two prescriptions, Huang Shisu was opening the tent, wanting to call someone to grab the medicine, so let the three refugees try this prescription first.
As soon as she opened the tent, she saw Li Zhifu, Li Dai and several people who Huang Zisu didn't know coming over, and Li Zhifu couldn't wait to ask Huang Zisu: "Doctor Huang, can you find the cause of the disease, do you know what plague the refugees are infected with?" ”
